I'm currently using the "Charon-VAX Windows Demo Version" (emulating a
MicroVAX-II with 16MB of RAM) I've managed to get hold of at the
"OpenVMS Technical Update Days" in Bad Homburg, Germany, on my notebook
(W2k) with OpenVMS 7.3. The CD installation kit contains an emulated
OpenVMS 6.2 system disk (container file). But it isn't a "production
environment" of course ...

Not really satisfied -- the functionality of this demo version is "very
limited" ;-)

It's running at 100% CPU all the time. At least for environments where
the "hosting PC" is used for other tasks too (development, testing, ...)
that should be adjustable; i.e., limit CPU usage of this application to x%.
